The tweet “diddy held us hostage lookin for his lost ring. dont like him no more“, came from twitterer dbaumz, who was among the crowd that, according to the NY Post, was virtually kidnapped by Diddy at a taping of 106 & Park after he accidentally flung a ring into the crowd.
The Post says:
At the beginning of the show, Diddy and members of his new hip-hop group, Dirty Money, could be seen prancing around the stage tossing wads of fake $100 bills.
But once the crowd saw there was real cash mixed in, a free-for-all erupted.
“The audience went wild,” said BET spokeswoman Marcy Polanco. “We were like, ‘Oh, my God!’ ”
Sources said there were about $25 to $100 in singles mixed in with the funny money.
In the midst of the frenzy, a bewildered Combs suddenly looked down at his hands and walked out of view.
“As he was throwing the money out to the audience, his ring flew off,” Polanco said.
As soon as the cameras cut, the host announced that the bling had disappeared, sending already-riled audience members dropping to their knees.
The rapper’s staff even tried to rip up part of the set in an effort to find the ring, a source said.
[Combs had] security search all 160 audience members after filming wrapped on the BET music-video show “106 & Park” before they were allowed to leave.
The search came up empty.
Mo’ diamonds, mo problems.
